“Now close your eyes and make a wish!” Eyes tightly closed the heart of a child forms the words that they dare not speak aloud “I ............ Wish for a Pony.” Granting the wish in the form of a real live Horse or Pony may not be a practical idea but the gift of a Soft Toy Hobby Horse could make that “Wish” come true! Will you be the one to grant the Wish of a ‘horse mad’ youngster? Will you make a special toy for a special child using this “Wish for a Pony” PDF Sewing Pattern?

This PDF Pattern contains 12 pages of Full Sized Pattern pieces for the Hobby Horse and 1 Page of Bridle Length Guides. Print the pages and tape or paste them together. With a choice of ¼” or 5mm Seam Allowance cutting line this Pattern has International appeal. Photos and text form a comprehensive Step by Step (Banana by Banana) guide to making a very special Hobby Horse plus Removable Bridle (with several ‘stitch detail’ options).

Size: The Horse Head is approximately 12 inches/30.5 cm long from the nose to (the Poll) just behind the ears. The head length (Poll to Neck base) is 14 inches/35.5 cm. The Hobby Horse is 38 inches/96.5 cm long from ear tips to end of Stick.

Materials: A full list of the Requirements (including dimensions, lengths & sizes) is included as a print out page in the PDF.

Cutting Layout: Using the fabric dimensions listed on the Requirements page the Cutting Layout page includes diagrams showing how the paper Pattern pieces can be arranged on the fabric.

Remember....One banana, two bananas, three bananas! More!!! Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more!!!!! Making a Soft Toy is like that....take it one step or ‘banana’ at a time and you will get a ‘bunch’ done!

You may be wondering what ‘restrictions’ apply to this pattern, well as far as I am concerned IF you as ONE individual person have the patience, creative energy, physical strength and passionate desire to make one or more Hobby Horses per week for an entire year (without resorting to mass production which would imply the involvement of more than one person) then ‘go for it’, you have my permission!

If you intend to sell any Hobby Horses direct to the public or to friends then I would be thrilled with (but don’t insist on) your acknowledgment of “Just Bananas Over Soft Toys” as being the source of the pattern on any labels you may choose to attach. (Acknowledgment may be required anyway depending on your Local Regulations). If you are thinking about selling your Soft Toy Hobby Horse Online, please check the Online Site requirements as a label listing a direct link back to the PDF Pattern may be necessary. Don’t forget the PDF (Pattern Pages, Photos & Text) are all protected by Copyright JB 2014 so you shouldn’t Copy (Duplicate Digitally or Print) & resell the Content of the PDF. Please appreciate the time and effort that went into creating this Pattern and treasure it as a valuable resource. Thanks a ‘Bunch’!

This the most amazing pattern! It is very well explained! I was a little worried about the eye sockets and the nostrils but there was no need to worry! Even though they look complicated the explanations were done so well that they were really easy to sew and it was a breeze! I would recommend this pattern to anyone!!! My grandchildren love the horse and I think I will have to make more! The 2 year old grandson that received it named him "Cracker". Thanks for a wonderful pattern!!!

Pattern is exellent! I enlarged the eyes slightly, because the security eyes I could get a hold of were a little bigger than the pattern says. We used grey fake suede and white synthetic hair for the mane. The result was a beautiful fairytale horse! My daughter is very pleased :)
